FAQs

What is the main benefit of these watershorts?

The main benefit is their quick-drying capability and comfortable, secure fit thanks to the elasticated waistband and internal mesh brief, making them ideal for active water play.

How do I choose the correct size?

It's recommended to check the specific waist measurements provided for each size (XS - 22", S - 24", M - 26", L - 28", XL - 30", XXL - 32") and compare them to your child's measurements for the best fit.

Are the pockets secure?

The side pockets are designed for convenience and feature a mesh drainage system. They are suitable for light items, but not recommended for securing valuables during rigorous activity.

What is the material made from?

The shorts are made from 100% Recycled Nylon, making them an environmentally conscious choice.

Can these be used for competitive swimming?

While comfortable for recreational swimming, these watershorts are designed for general water play and beach activities rather than competitive swimming, which may require specialized suits.

How should I care for the watershorts to make them last longer?

Rinse in cold fresh water after each use, machine wash gently with mild detergent, and hang dry away from direct sunlight. Avoid bleach, ironing, and dry cleaning.

Troubleshooting

Waistband feels too loose

Tighten the external drawcord to achieve a secure fit. Ensure the drawstring is tied securely.

Shorts feel heavy when wet

Ensure the mesh drainage system in the pockets is clear and functioning. The quick-drying fabric should minimize this issue.

Fabric feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and have rinsed thoroughly. Avoid fabric softeners, which can degrade swimwear material. Hang dry instead of tumble drying.
